Patti: “I’ve been asked is there really such a thing as negative energy.”

“OK so you’re with a person and they criticize your precious thoughts:

CRASH! BAM! And it HURTS!

or they’re angry at you, or they scold you:

CRASH! BAM! And it HURTS!

or they’re distant from you, or they don’t engage with you…

CRASH! BAM! And it HURTS!

…or they flaunt their talents and skills with you:

CRASH! BAM! And it HURTS!

“You are attacked, you are put down, you are ignored, you are disappointed, you are humiliated, you are annoyed. And you know what this is? This is NEGATIVE ENERGY. It can affect you… a lot. It can give you a headache..”

Steve: “Being ignored causes the same chemical reaction in the brain as experiencing a physical injury.”

Patti: “Sometimes you can walk into a house and feel the negative energy.”
